(At 1-second intervals) (See Table 1) (1) Pilot lamp indication The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown in Table 1, according to the condition of the charger or the rechargeable battery. Table 1 Indications of the pilot lamp Charge status lamp(RED) Before charging Blinks (RED) Lights for 0.5 seconds. Does not light for 0.5 seconds. (off for 0.5 seconds) While charging Lights (RED) Lights continuously Charging complete Blinks (RED) Lights for 0.5 seconds. Does not light for 0.5 seconds. (off for 0.5 seconds) Charging impossible Flickers (RED) Lights for 0.1 seconds. Does not light for 0.1 seconds. (off for 0.1 seconds) Malfunction in the battery or the charger Overheat lamp (GREEN) Overheat standby Lights (GREEN) Lights continuously Battery overheated. Unable to charge (Charging will commence when battery cools). NOTE: When standby for cooling battery, UC18YRL cools the overheated battery by cooling fan. English (2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable battery The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged. Table 2 Recharging ranges of batteries Temperatures at Rechargeable batteries which the battery can be recharged EBM1430R 0°C – 50°C (3) Regarding recharging time Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the charging time will become as shown in Table 3. Table 3 Charging time (At 20°C) Charger UC18YRL Battery EBM1430R Approx.45 min. NOTE: The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage. 4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle. 5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery. NOTE: After operation, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly. Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc. As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times. How to make the batteries perform longer (1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter. (2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. CAUTION: . When the battery charger has been continuosly used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging. . If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp map light in green. The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging. . When the pilot lamp flickers in red (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center. PRIOR TO OPERATION 1. Setting up and checking the work environment Check if the work environment is suitable by following the precautions. HOW TO USE 1. Confirm the clutch dial position (see Fig. 4) The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted according to the clutch dial position, at which the clutch dial is set. (1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the one of the numbers “1, 3, 5 ... 22” on the clutch dial, or the dots, with the triangle mark on the outer body. (2) When using this unit as a drill, align the clutch dial drill mark “ ” with the triangle mark on the outer body. CAUTION: . The clutch dial cannot be set between the numerals “1, 3, 5 ... 22” or the dots. . Do not use with the clutch dial numeral between “22” and the line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing so may cause damage. (See Fig. 5) 2. Tightening torque adjustment (1) Tightening torque Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to the screw diameter. When too strong torque is used, the screw head may be broken or be injured. Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according to the screw diameter. (2) Tightening torque indication The tightening torque differs depending on the type of screw and the material being tightened. The unit indicates the tightening torque with the numbers “1, 3, 5 ... 22” on the clutch dial , and the dots. The tightening toque at position “1” is the weakest an...
